Responsibilities in organizations
Coordination
In the coordination relation the informative actions are central. In the example, we can imagine a coordination relation between the secretary and the reviewers, that the secretary has to inform the reviewers that the deadline has been changed; instead of two weeks the papers has to be reviewed within three days. If a reviewer, say our professor j, has not received this information, the secretary, say k (so rea(k,s) holds) is causally responsible that the papers are not reviewed within the deadline, and so for the delay of the process for reviewing the papers (Dreview 1 ), which follows from definition 2: [k:inform(j,deadline)]Dreview 1 ∧ DO(k:inform(j,deadline)) ∧ ¬Dreview 1 where k:inform(j,deadline) denotes that agent k informs j about the advancing of the deadline. However, the secretary k is coordinationally responsible: R coor k (inform(j,deadline)) since given the coordination link between the secretary and the reviewers, and the given task allocation, the following formula is true: ¬K j deadline → ¬CAN j (achieve(review 1 )) ∧ CAN k (monitor(deadline)) where CAN k (monitor(deadline)) expresses that the secretary k is capable to check whether the deadline has been changed. Control In the control relation, the monitoring activity has a normative effect. In our scenario, a control relation can be assumed to hold between the secretary and the group of the reviewers. This means that if the professor j does not review the papers sent to him, secretary k should somehow take the task over as shown in definition 10 because of his failure- based responsibility: [k:monitor(DONE(j:achieve(review 1 ))](Dreview 1 → O(k:achieve(review 1 ))) Professor j would be causally responsible, task-based responsible, as well as socially responsible for Dreview 1 . Notice that, instead, if also secretary k does not accomplish the task review 1 , he would violate the obligation, and would only be causally responsible for Dreview 1 . Download 297.23 Kb.
